BANGKOK, Thailand — PTTEP subsidiary Rovula (Thailand), part of its AI and Robotics Ventures (ARV) business division, has co-developed with Kongsberg Ferrotech what is claimed to be a world-first subsea pipeline repair robot.
The Thai state energy company, which included the development in its latest results statement, also provided an update on the G1/61 gas project offshore Thailand covering the Erawan, Platong, Satun and Funan fields; PTTEP assumed operatorship earlier this year from Chevron.
Since April, PTTEP has installed four new wellhead platforms, drilled 10 production wells, installed new subsea pipelines and secured more rig capacity for planned activities covering about 70 production wells, with targeted completion by the end of this year.
The company also is constructing four further wellhead platforms to ramp up production from G1/61.
At the same time, the company has increased gas production at the offshore Bongkot and Arthit fields and the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Development Area project by roughly 200 MMcf/d to 250 MMcf/d to satisfy domestic needs.
